GORDON DUFF -- November 22, 2015, US and Saudis Suffer Defeats in Syrian Proxy War

Calling it anything else is insane. America is pouring supplies into Syria and Iraq, to more than simply “moderate extremists.” Hell, America has set up a base inside Iraq to resupply ISIS. 3000 American soldiers serving in Iraq are out there for the holidays, pouring arms into the hands of terrorists while waiting to be returned home, thanked for their service, and thrown on the trash heap.

With 90 percent of the war inside Syria and America flying few and usually no missions there at all, is it a wonder when Russia magically discovered 500 fuel trucks that pour millions of profits into the coffers of John McCain’s friends and business partners.

We are also tired of Raytheon Corporation and their love affair with ISIS and al Nusra. Their continual supply of missiles to terrorist organizations is not an accident and the management of Raytheon needs to be held accountable and should be arrested, tried and convicted, not just in the US, but Iraq and Syria as well for “material support of terrorism.”

The Ukrainians, Georgians, Saudis, the thousands of Turks, the Kuwaitis and Jordanians, not to speak of the Israeli government, all of whom pour weapons into the hands of ISIS every day need to be held to account as well.

By legal standards established after 9/11, each of these nations is open for bombing, not only of their terrorist training camps and logistic bases but their national leadership as well. We hunted down Saddam, I think we may have gotten the wrong guy.
